My throat's burning from the smoke in my lungs
my mind's burning from the drink on my tongue
my heart's breaking from the things that I've done
watch out, baby, the demon has come (it's me)

set it down drink it up
while you think of yourself
smoke it brown til it burns up
then you can see hell

CHORUS:
gonna medicate
til I medicate
everything I love
everything I love

fill it up baby
I'll drink til I'm on my knees
you always encouraged me
now I'm crying to my mommy

seems to be the case
everytime I love someone
now I'm flat on my face
and it seems like you have won

CHORUS:
gonna medicate
til I medicate
everything I love
everything I love

BRIDGE:
don't care about me
don't carry with me
don't care about me
anymore...sometimes

I wanna be miserable with anyone
and I'll drink 'til that task's done
drink 'til the morning's come
it seems like the song has won

they keep asking if it's getting in the way
but I know it's just a medication
drink or two makes you stronger these days
in the wake of californication

CHORUS:
gonna medicate
'til I eradicate
'til I really hate myself
everything I love
(hate myself)
everything I love
